The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Decision: Red Daze feels like a strategic survival action RPG where you manage a base and fight off waves of mutated creatures from a top-down perspective.

What players say

Players are split on this reboot of the flash Decision series. Those who enjoy it praise the satisfying base-capture loop and squad progression, despite the grindy feel. Others call it tedious and buggy, with a terrible UI, janky aiming, and combat that forces slow, charge-based melee. Long-time fans note it is very different from the originals.
